Vinyl plays with occasional crackles (play-graded). Embossed die-cut 'Jukebox' gate-fold looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing and surface impressions (front/back/inner-gate). Inner-sleeve is original (song titles/credits). Spine is easy-to-read with wear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Records is a compilation album by Foreigner which spans the band's first four albums (through 1981). Along with Double Vision, this album is the group's best-selling album peaking at No. 10 on Billboard's Album Charts. It has been certified 7 x platinum by the RIAA. According to a review on allmusic.com, "Foreigner's most lucrative years came during their first four albums, with their guitar-driven arena rock flair settling in nicely with the rest of the late-'70s music scene. Twelve of Foreigner's 16 Top 40 singles are from a six year span, between 1977 and 1982, which is why Records makes for such an entertaining collection of the band's work. With cuts stemming from Foreigner, Double Vision, Head Games, and 4, Records lines up ten of their first 11 hit singles...the album is the most opportune route in exploring Foreigner's best material. Both Cold As Ice and Double Vision are stellar examples of Lou Gramm's vocal gusto and Mick Jones' bang-on guitar playing, while favorites like Urgent (with Junior Walker on sax ), Head Games, and Feels Like the First Time, with its shiny keyboard segments, are unblemished radio-rock standards. The live cut of Hot Blooded is a nice addition as well, as is the band's second-best ballad in Waiting for a Girl Like You, outdone only by 1984's I Want to Know What Love Is."
